Adjustable light fixture with an umbrella mount and a hot shoe mount

Abstract

An adjustable light fixture for photography that is versatile in mobility and utility. The light fixture includes a light socket, a handle, an umbrella-mounting hole, a hot shoe mount, a stand adaptor, and a lockable pivot joint. The light socket receives a light bulb and includes a housing and an electrical interfacing cavity. The intermediate spar is adjacently connected to the housing to connect the handle to the light socket. The electrical interfacing cavity traverses into the housing, opposite the intermediate spar. The handle is adjacently and perpendicularly connected to the intermediate spar, opposite the housing. The umbrella-mounting hole traverses through the handle, oriented parallel to a main axis of the electrical interfacing cavity. The hot shoe mount is adjacently connected to the intermediate spar, opposite the handle. The stand adaptor is pivotably attached to the handle by the lockable pivot joint, opposite the intermediate spar.
